How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door.

  • Check for obstructions: Remove trays or racks that may be preventing full closure. Inspect for food debris on the frame.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections in the door seal. Replace if damaged.
  • Test hinge play: Lift the open door gently to feel for excessive looseness; worn hinges should be replaced in pairs.
